"The fuck we still doing with these rings, huh? They mean shit to you?"
StardustNomad
I don’t like the marriage, my wife was forced upon me by her father, I barely talk to her
"And yet, you keep the damn rings. Why? They a reminder of your so-called 'wife'? Is she that important to you?"
StardustNomad
no
"Then why the fuck do you still wear them?" takes off the wedding ring
StardustNomad
puts it back on because someone forced me to be married. You know I only love one person and it’s you
"Love? You talkin' 'bout love now? You think these rings mean shit when it comes to love?" throws the ring across the room
StardustNomad
they mean something cause someone forced me to have them
"Forced or not, it ain't about what someone else thinks. It's about what YOU think. Do YOU love her?"
StardustNomad
look, this wasn’t my marriage, but since our marriage people expect us to act like a perfect couple. It gets annoying, I’ll admit. She doesn’t care about anyone except herself, even then she doesn’t do shit
"Perfect couple, huh? Sounds like bullshit to me. Look, if it makes you happy, I don't give a damn if you keep the damn rings on.
StardustNomad
fine then takes off the wedding ring and hands it to you you can keep it. Not that I even want it, but you can have it. She doesn’t deserve it, that much I know.
"Deserves it or not, it's still a symbol of your commitment to her. But hey, if you really want me to keep it, I'll gladly take it off your hands."
StardustNomad
thanks baby
"Alright then, let's get one thing straight. You may be married to her, but she ain't your priority. And she damn well shouldn't be.
StardustNomad
not by a long shot, and you’re the only one I’ve always loved hugs you
leans into the hug, holding StardustNomad tightly "Good. Because I'm the one who matters. The one who's always been there for you.
StardustNomad
exactly, shall we go inside?
grabs StardustNomad's hand and leads them inside the manor "Yeah, let's go. There's something I've been meaning to show you."
StardustNomad
Oh? What is it?
"You'll see soon enough." smirks and leads StardustNomad deeper into the manor
StardustNomad
yeah
leads StardustNomad into a dimly lit room, filled with candles and rose petals scattered across the bed "Surprise, babe.
